Nature Center Field Trip!

Wow!  What an amazing field trip we had today!  The people at the Nature Center were so nice to show us around and teach us all kinds of new information.  We focused on how to classify living things such as plants and animals.  We got to walk through the nature trails and observe and classify many different interesting plants.  We even got to see animals like frogs and deer!  Inside, we got to talk about how to classify various veggies and fruits, and even munch on some!  We also had the opportunity to investigate some pond water for small invertebrates like insects.  When we found an interesting bug that was too small to see clearly, our guide helped us put it under a powerful microscope to observe it closely.  Everyone had a blast and learned  many new things in the process!
